IH that'll be 1.25 billion. I just checked and the AT-11 can shoot down Helos before they are in range haha.

lol thanks for sellin them

The United States of Hrstrovokia wishes to purchase 15,000 for use as Hrstrovokia's Light Tank. $1,500,000,000 Kroners waiting to be transfered.
maybe it's cheap, but that thing is a joke when facing modern armor (4th and 5th generation). though the gun packs a respectable punch, its armor might as well be paper, and at anything but really close range, something like an abrams, a manticore 2, or a T-64 could waste huge numbers of them without suffering so much as a scratch. if the AT-11 has a pretty good range, that might make it cost-effective, but even so, if you intend on it fighting other tanks, you're basically buying a moving target board.
if, however, you use it strictly as an infantry support weapon (the original purpose of tanks, now fulfilled by things like the M2 bradley), it might be very effective. just keep it away from modern armor.
I know a guy selling them cheaper for about 50,000 or around there.
125 mm can knock out an abrams, as proved in the gulf war.
really? according to everything i've read, not a single abrams was lost due to enemy fire.
like i said, it packs a respectable punch, but it would be gone by the time it got off a shot, and 4th generation tank armor would stop that shell at medium/long ranges, 5th at pretty close ones.
i'll take 15,000
and yes, i am also pretty sure an abrams was never lost in any war with iraq. schwartzkoff flaunted it.
Not a single CREW was lost, although i think 12 or so were knocked out, the main thing wasn't the gun but the FCS equipment. This thing uses the latest russian FCS, like that on the T-90
Confirmed Mars, another thing to remember is the crews, Iraqi's sucked but the U.S. had pretty good crews. Most U.S. tankers say they could have won if the tanks had been reversed.
if you dont likw them dont buy them its simple

eh...i'm still skeptical about this T-55 amv2. it's based on the real-world T-55, correct?
what are your sources for these 12 abrams knocked out? i would like to see something like that.
The Confederacy of Marsara is interested in your tanks. Our Military Purchasing Division is prepared to buy 5,000 of your tanks.
Money will be wired upon confirmation of order.

It's a T-55 but it has been so modified that it is more comparible to a T-64 or T-72.
according to global security it was 7 destroyed, but I think more were damaged. 14 were lost to friendly fire.

it's still useless against 5th generation armor (manticore 2, black eagle, the Berëzan T-64, etc.), but it does look good for infantry support. i'll take 450 for now, see how they work.
an envoy with the money will be arriving at your embassy shortly.
its for newer nations, hopeflly they dont attack 5th generation armor

Like IH said, these aren't meant to be uber-high tech MBT's, they are for developing countries. I don't even use them as frontline, but I have about 5,000 in reserve. Shipped your order

[took out obnoxious picture for this quote]
pretty uncalled for. people were just talking about tanks. geez...
srry mars, i just wanted to make a point, why argue wen the thread is called newer nation tanks
thats very true. i agree actually.
And if you can buy 40 of these for every 1 M1A2 that's certainly an advantage if you are facing a April or Early may nation and you are june or july.

Yes, the 125mm gun will waste an Abrams if it can get close enough.. the old Abrams with 105mm guns had no chance in hell against T72s, that's why they uprated to 120mm.. which it seems is superior to the 125mm gun.. so, yes..modern MBTs with 120mm guns will have an advantage, but i don't think there's a tank created that can take a direct hit from a 125mm, certainly an APFSDS type round, and not... er..be completely ...stuffed.
Anyway, I should be quiet as I can't have these tanks just yet- WoS has just put the Vickers 6ton tank into production :)
I will purchase 22,000 for my new light tank brigades. That comes to 2.75 billion I believe. These will be useful, despite their sort of, crappiness, in comparison to my T-90's and M1A2's.

People, people, inferior capability against the absolute best MBTs doesn't directly equate to a vehicles classification as a light-tank. These are medium tanks or main battle tanks no matter how you look at it... and we're going to order some :D
By our standards they're bloody impressive.
We'll take just two (budget VERY tight, and we hope to adapt just a few of the components to our existing T54s)
Funds under transfer as we speak.
wow 2, I don't know if my factories can handle that...you can have an extra 8 for free. :D

OOC-FiK, Arcels "got" that 3 trillion by "auctioning" off his nation and his puppet made the bid of 3 trillion. That's a stupid way to godmode.
His puppet doesn't even have 3 trillion.

From the top or side, maybe...
Nothing much gets through the Frontal Armor of an M1A2!
Not to knock the AT-11, but it's only a 100mm ATGM, about suitable for taking out Bradleys, and other light AFVs...
On the other hand, that is one heck of a good price, and the citizens of Hobb find Soviet-designed armor to be much more spacious than most of you 'high-pocketed' types do...
We'll take 2500 of them...
Just send a telegram to 'FiK', right?

We currently have 630 T-55MV Tanks in service with our six Army reserve divisions and we would like to upgrade these to your standards. How much?
I would like another 50,000 of these fine tanks,Im massing MBT.i have leopards 2 (German MBT), Challenger 2 (British MBT) Abrahms (American MBT) and i have some T-55, but are they the MBT of russia still?
newyas, ill take 50,000
funds have been wired
they haven't been russia's MBT since the 60's. then again, they're currently so underfunded that they're probably a good idea now.
Just so ADK knows I rejected his sale since he plans to use them for further imperialistic conquest
